Hey all, I just was logging on to the USMLE website and noticed that it seems like they will make some major changes on that date?

http://www.usmle.org/general_information/announcements.aspx

Can this possibly benefit me at all? I REALLY don't want to wait 2 months for my score like they say, not to mention I can only assume that the first people to take the "new" test will probably score lower... what do you guys think? Should I try to move it up a day or two? Are these changes real? I am an International student if that matters...
 
I mean, waiting 2 months for a score would be a big deal... although i just checked and now I would have to move all the way up to the 11th. hmmm... not sure if thats worth it...

A big deal is if you lose your arm tomorrow or your dog dies. Waiting 2 months, little deal.
